Synthbiotic Dungeon
I really like the idea of isometric dungeon crawlers. The person placing the traps and possessing the enemies is also great, however even with this patch some enemies still feel very weak or very slow. A single player can easily out weave around them all. On Aegis map, enemies can spawn hidden behind a wall which makes picking them difficult as you still can’t switch between them while in control.
Also while I had no troubles making a lobby as the defence, for some reason why I see a lobby to join as a runner, it boots me back to the menu.

Dude, this game is REALLY solid and polished. The multiplayer aspect and how the game functions is a joy. It has all the fun of a tower defense AND the asymmetric aspect is really a unique combo. I could see this game becoming a THING with more development.

Children of Morta
I’m a little mixed on this game overall. But I like it.
Children of Morta is an atmospheric-story-driven-diablo-lite-with-rogue-elements. But action rogue-lite works, too.
Premise: You’ll control the Bergson family, residents of Mount Morta. A threat known simply as the “Corruption” needs to be thwarted.
Structure:
You select a character and set off into a portal to fight the corruption. It has 3 main areas. Each harboring a spirit you need to free to aid you. Each area then has procedural levels within it.
! The last area is seems a bit inspired by the Dwemer Ruins of Elder Scrolls.. All the areas have a distinct feeling.

A hack-and-slash game with rogue-like elements, Children of Morta unfortunately didn’t provide me with any of the satisfaction associated with either genre.
I usually like to start with the positives but they’re scarce here. The pixel art looks excellent but even that is squandered in drab and uninspired levels, of which there are mainly only three types: a cave, a desert town and a volcanic industrial area.
The music, although competently made, sounded very unmemorable to me. None of the tracks were catchy or went beyond doing their job.

Roguelands
FRESHLY UPDATED REVIEW
PHEW wipes sweat from forehead I have now hit about 850+ hours as of this updated review from my last, most of my gameplay time was from me searching for bugs and reproducing them so I could have Sean fix them. I have posted my old review under this one; if you would like to read it, feel free to but it’s pretty much the same thing lol. Roguelands recently released as a full game and believe me when I say; the amount of content that was pumped into this game from day 1 is absolutely mind boggling. There is so much content that you could play for hours on end. I’ll through a couple of PROS and CONS below.

Honestly, I can’t recommend this game at all. Yes I have a lot of time on it, yes the base game is enjoyable, but the developer is just such an idiot that it makes the game painful to try to enjoy.
-
The text box for characters is awful and despite a billion people crying out for him to fix it, he refuses to. The text doesn’t even make sense either once it’s repeated 10 times in a row.
-
Combat feels clunky. You want to chug those potions to save your ass, right? Well, you gotta get out of combat mode and mindlessly hop around to actually do that without being able to fight back.

Risk of Rain 2
One of the best rogue-like games I’ve ever played. Man where do I even start.
The gameplay loop is fairly straightforward. You shoot/slash, and you loot, and do some more until you either ascend to godhood, or die facing an overwhelming horde of monsters. The concept doesn’t sound too complex or profound, but the actual process is, in every sense, engaging. The basic controls is solid, the different classes of survivors each feels unique and interesting, and the item synergies are immensely satisfying. It is incredibly freeing to navigate the environments of Petrichor V, especially on the more mobile survivors.

Unbelievably good game, maybe one of the best of all time from a pure gameplay perspective, the story is pretty peripheral. This game is all about choices, items, and ultimately your mechanics of playing a third person shooter/melee.
Do you farm the whole level and hope you get lucky? Or do you spend no more than 5 minutes tops per level hoping that your luck will even out over the course of more levels before enemies become too powerful to beat? Which items will you choose, what if luck doesn’t let you choose those items? You can play a typical shooter, or melee, or get weird with the engineer, playing with turrets and shields. Do you risk playing with the lunar items?

Eye of Ouroboros
Eye of Ouroboros is an action roguelike adventure game set in a mythical state between life and void. Master the heroes fighting styles and the unique perks acquired throughout the journey. The game can be played by 1-4 players.
Co-op Focused
The game design choices are heavily leaned towards coop: less enemies but with more health; level design requires players to stick together; some abilities boost the whole team. Invite up to 3 friends with their choice of heroes which could turn the tide.
Level Based
The sequence of levels will be different for each run. You also have a choice of different rewards you’ll receive when picking the next level.
Bosses
Bosses for every level with their own unique fighting style.
Several Heroes to Choose From
Every hero has their own unique abilities and fighting style which adds replayability and unique combat strategies when playing with friends.
Roguelike
There is no other way to go about it - if you die, you die permanently. However, some of your progress can be turned into rewards that might make future runs easier.
The game is still early in development so its features are subject to change.
To the Core
I think it’s high time I write a review for this game. After ten hours of grinding and figuring this game out I can say something good.
Alright, I’ma start by saying that this game isn’t perfect, in fact, it is flawed in many ways and many places. (Still mad at taking damage at weird times) But here’s the thing, the game is fun, and it is a speed game. Let’s get into it.
The movement - The movement is floaty, it’s like ice skates, and like others have said is not tight. However, what you need to figure out is how to use momentum. The way this game works as a speed game is through the use of momentum in movement and not just running along the ground. After getting used to how the characters momentum works, the controls can actually become pretty tight. Trust me, hours were spent figuring out the best way to move and I for one am a fan of the movement in this game. Will it appeal to everyone, no. That’s obvious from the few videos I’ve seen and the reviews. But give it a go, and work with the movement.

Tentatively.
It’s fun, you play as Doomfist but as a little girl trying to find her dad or something. You get random upgrades halfway through the level but can go back to get the upgrade points you missed.
You can take like 5 hits, there’s a single health restore point that restores a single pip in each level.
The platforming is harder than the combat, the platforming controls also suck. The timing on jumping through lasers is “jump right before they turn off or jump into it and land in a pit of lava.” No checkpoints, doesn’t make it harder, just kind of annoying.
